<<Which is a MORE "right" way to do it>>

Actually, its spelled MOHR, but good try.

Remember in Reading when we were at the car wash and I powerwashed my engine? No ill effects to this day. In fact I did it again about 2 weeks ago after spraying some degreaser and taking a stiff bristle brush to the nasty spots. No more burnt tranny smell from that busted hose.

I've washed my engine several times in the 7 or so years I've been with her and I've never covered anything up during the process.

As long as you clean and grease (dielectric) the electrical connectors every few years, I can't see a problem just hosing down everything.
